Rephase Ocean Wave is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Ocean Wave opens with Myrtle, Litsea Cubeba, Ozonic Notes, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Rephase's Ocean Wave carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just an 'ocean wave', it’s a full-on aquatic assault. Polarising and distinctly avant-garde, it’s probably not for the faint-hearted. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

Its woody, ozonic and patchouli composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

The powerful ozonic and woody accords give it a strong presence, making it a bit too assertive for office wear or formal events. However, its fresh, invigorating nature makes it suitable for casual outings or even post-gym refreshment, if you're bold enough.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf/Twig Oil from Eucalyptus
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ocean Wave crashes with a tidal wave of eucalyptus and ozonic notes, immediately throwing you into a bracing, almost medicinal chill. As the initial spray subsides, a peculiar floral-herbal heart emerges, where rose and violet tangle with the unexpected spice of clove. The dry-down is a deep dive into an earthy, woody base, with patchouli and guaiac wood creating a dense, almost primordial forest floor undercurrent, softened slightly by amber and musk. It’s an unusual composition, a truly wild ride from start to finish.
